TAFFETA, SATIN. CHIFFON AND BEADS MAKE
A STRIKING GOWN
3Y BETTY BROWN
One of the most striking gowns
displayed on Fifth av. this week is an
intricate combination of heavy black
taffeta, cherry satin, chiffon and
elaborate bead embroidery
The taffeta skirt is more than
usually full and its generous propor
tions are exaggerated by the liberal
use of cherry satin facings in the side
panels
The waist appears extraordinarily
simple, but is, in fact, a marvelous
ensemble of crepe, beads, satin, chif
fon and taffeta.
